DIY Melted Crayon Wall Art

Well, I finally did it, my first DIY Crayon art.

1. I purchased a black Bristol board instead of using a plain old white background. I picked it up from the Dollarama for $1.00.

2. Then I positioned the crayons on the board, I used about 3 boxes of 24 packs. They were $1.25 at the dollar store.

3. I then used my newly purchased hot glue gun from Michaels {$2.99} and glued the crayons in a zig-zag pattern on the Bristol board.

4. After they dried I got my hair dryer and held it over each section of crayons at a time, letting them slowly melt down the board.

5. Once I was done I doodled the word "imagine" in silver marker, from the Dollarama for  $2.00 and also drew some sketched clouds on the top of the crayons making it look like the dripping wax was rain. 

6. I then framed it in a white frame from IKEA which cost me $6.00.

 

This project took me about 20-30 minutes to do and only cost $12.75 to make, excluding glue gun and glue costs of $7.98. Below is the finished product, hanging on Alix's wall.

 

 

You can literally make any pattern using the crayons and you don't have to use all the colors. You could do one in blue and green. Or maybe one for a girls room in pink, red and purple? The combinations and possibilities are endless. Get creative and have fun making your own melted crayon DIY Wall art!!!
